NumPy - Creating Arrays
What does the np.linspace() function generate in NumPy?
AAn array of random numbers between two values
BAn array of numbers with a fixed step size
CAn array of integers from start to stop
DAn array of evenly spaced numbers between two values
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand the purpose of np.linspace()

    It generates numbers evenly spaced over a specified interval.

  2. Step 2: Compare with other options

    It does not generate random numbers or fixed step size arrays, but evenly spaced values.

  3. Final Answer:

    An array of evenly spaced numbers between two values -> Option D

  4. Quick Check:

    np.linspace() = evenly spaced numbers [OK]
Quick Trick: np.linspace creates evenly spaced numbers between start and stop [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing np.linspace with np.arange
  • Thinking it generates random numbers
  • Assuming fixed step size instead of fixed number of points
